Is video game an art form? This topic has stirred debate since many years. Amongst the games regularly mentioned when the debate is up, those made by the creator Fumito Ueda-ICO, Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian are probably the most iconic.

These three games share the same aesthetic, the same design philosophy, and the same universe. These games are evocative, they tell us a lot about the man behind them and his fixed idea to create something new and detached from any trend, and to propose another perspective on video game.

The Work of Fumito Ueda: Another perspective on video game is an unprecedented essay which deals with all these subjects and dive into the singular development process of each game. The book also offers an in-depth analysis of the games, their music, their game design, and proposes an unique reflexion about art.
